New Music From the Hold Steady

Anyone who knows me, or who has read Lost Gods, knows how important The Hold Steady is to me. I am pretty sure they are the best band making music right now, and I often (or always) listen to them when I am writing.

In Lost Gods, Coyote takes Anansi to a Hold Steady show. That concert [...]

Hey, I have a story up at Smashwords!

Hey all you beautiful people,

I know what you are saying right now. “Drew is being awfully complementary, he must want something.” If that is what you were thinking, shame on you. I don’t want anything from you.

I have a short story up at Smashwords.com. It’s called Double [...]

Drew’s Writing Tips!

Recently on Twitter I decided to share some of the valuable and important insights I have discovered while writing two and 1/3 novels.

In Which I Name Myself “Toronto’s Greatest Podcast Novelist”

The Whole Novel is Up!

03.05.06

Warts and all. Like I have said, this is still just a draft. I am working on the editing a little bit, while trying to keep up with writing and editing a few stories. But, the rough copy is up, although the ending is the weakest writing, I was rushing to GET IT DONE. Now [...]

I’m finished!

So, the novel (at least the first draft that is going up here so far) is finished. Complete. Done.

Now, I just have to edit, and edit, and edit a little bit more after that.

And then there is the editing to do.

But the first [...]
